Lime soup is a typical dish of Yucatecan cuisine, this soup is delicious because it is a seasoned chicken broth spiced with cloves, Yucatecan oregano, and cumin. This broth is fried in lard with the chicken, tomato, onion, and sweet yellow pepper or Xcat-ik, the most delicious part is that it is flavored with slices of lime that give it a spectacular taste and is accompanied by strips of fried tortillas.
